Never seen that before.  I like the cover art but it’s an exceptionally bold choice for content!

It’s a popular one because of that. I’ve seen a lot of talk about that one on message boards before...lol

Decent copy of the Reform School Girl digest popped up on the 'bay this weekend and sold fairly quickly for $525. My current copy is better so I didn't go after it but think that's a healthy price in that condition. It's only the 3rd copy I've seen for sale in the last 2 years and was definitely better than the others.

It is so relatively cheap for the top book in the hobby.

Definitely an inexpensive hobby.  I'd agree top tier, even though photo covers are not for me, but NN Good Earth I would rank first, imo

There's no doubt that the Good Earth NN Pocket Book is probably the rarest USA paperback. I think in the long haul though, there will be a better market for GGA/SOTI type books like Reform School Girl for the same "titillating" reasons those kinds of books do so well in the comic market.

I do collect Pocket's & would love to have one but I view the Good Earth (and the first 10 Pocket Book 1st Prints) kind of like the more innocent early pre-hero comic books that are historically important and rare but not going to excite cover collectors and so not the same market.

That said, I have no idea what a copy would sell for since they never come to market.
